SteelCity08 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Temps seem to be a tad cooler as well. With ratios wouldn't be surprised to see this end up being closer to 3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling Snowed Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks for the posts Mailman...nine times out of ten...your posts are a preview of what the rest of us will see a bit later with storms that move in a general south to north movement. Feel good about this one....I think that most that post in this thread will see 2-4" in the next 8-12 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Looks like a lot of places have an inch already. Could be some dry air moving in, but theorerically that would fil in as the upper level low moves in. Based on this, the new nam, obs, and radar, thinking 3" to 5" is a real possibility Of course if we get 3" or 4", it verifies either way. But I think it should be a nice scene as the sun rises, with the snow cover already in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 4 inches sitting on my truck when I left my apartment in Bethel at 7:30. I'm in West Mifflin right now and it's just a very light snow coming down now.

colonel717 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That heavy band pushed me over 4 inches. 4.35. Still lightly snowing now. 2 4+ inch snows in 3 days. I think we avg 2 5 inch snows per year so we still have them coming since neither of these topped 5 inches for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Little over 4 inches here. Very unofficial measurement taken from my car roof. Moderate snow falling now, so safe say I will finish with 4.5 - 5 inches in my back yard from this event. Pretty nice event that really did trend better as we go closer! Looks like we may get some LES snow showers on the back end of this as well so it should be pretty wintry for the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Recent model trends suggesting a bit higher level event. Sound like euro gave us around .4 qpf and so did the most recent nam. Perhaps a 4-6 event? Every once in awhile a little optimism pays off. LOL Nice job PA. Possibly some more accumulation overnight, depending how the disturbance interacts with our area.

Perhaps a 4-6 event? Nice call, despite the last minute model output, I was still thinking 3 would be the the high end average. Looks like most people are between 4 and 6 for the area.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Is the snow that is building to the west supposed to pivot thru here? I could be wrong, but I think that may be associate with the disturbance moving through aided with some lake enhancement. Wouldn't be surprised to catch another inch or so over night.

blackngoldrules Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 gfsAttached thumbnail(s) Reduced 20% We're going to add a little to our totals tonight and possibly add a little more Monday night. Suddenly, we're above normal with our current snowfall total for the season. Snow is coming down in West Mifflin right now. I'm on my way home to Bethel to see what it's doing there.
